Recently I decided to dip my toes into the water and give Shiseido a try, so I picked up their LE Pink Sands trio. The official shade descriptions are Peach – soft sweet peach, Platinum – pale rosy platinum, and Pink – cool shimmering pink. The shades are inspired by sand dunes lit by the setting sun, which conjures a lovely image.
The large swatches are on Meow’s Light Primer. The small swatches are on bare skin.
My shade descriptions:
Pink – pink with pink iridescence
Taupe – taupe grey brown with pink iridescence
Peach – peach with pink iridescence
The Website Claims:
The true, intense colors blend smoothly to create your perfectly individual eye look.
Ingredients:
??? I’m not sure why, but I can’t find the ingredients listing online at Sephora or at the Shiseido USA site.
Price:
$33 for .1 oz
Does it live up to its claims?
Yes. The colors are truly silky smooth and pigmented. They blend effortlessly. These three shades work together harmoniously. I really love how all 3 shades have pink iridescence, which really makes for the effortless blending.
Would I purchase again?
Yes. If I found a trio I liked, I’d purchase another set from Shiseido. As it is, I really love these three shades, especially the pink! I’m really impressed with the quality of the colors. They wore all day for me with my usual caveat that I wear them with TFSI. Without TFSI, my shadows always melt off. These are really nice, easy to use shadows. I think that they’d be perfect for someone who has a bit of trouble with blending or is new to it, because of how nicely they work together.

Aww why not?
I’ve never used Shiseido either, but will check them on my next Sephora trip.
I hope they have a trio you’ll adore.
I was a long time reader over at your other website. I am so glad to have found your posting again! Hurray!
